Put up yer paws!!
Years ago, a chap I knew online who was a writer and editor asked when I was going to take a shot at writing for publication. He thought I showed a grasp of prose and a sprightly style in my messages in the online forums we frequented.

I agreed I could write readable prose pretty much by reflex, but more was required: you needed stories to tell. I didn't happen to have any floating in my head that would expand to a book, so I was passing, thank you.

Loquacity in a forum like this is one thing. Stuff that will sell to a paying market is another.

Pshrynk may be right. And if he is a really good pshrynk, well, we need them.
